If You’re Black And Not Considering Living And Raising A Family In New England, You’re Hustling Backwards

[I Really Mean It]

Every day brings a new story of an enterprising and productive brother gunned down in the streets of cities where the death of black people - especially of black men - has become so commonplace that shock is no longer the reaction when it occurs. Whether it’s Chicago or St. Louis, New Orleans or Philadelphia, lives of black people cut too short is as expected as humidity in a summer afternoon.

I’m always taken aback by how different my experience in Boston has been. Like any city, there are occasional shootings here, but they’re too infrequent to be considered a problem. Unlike the aforementioned areas, Boston isn’t plagued by a scourge of black death that grips its citizens with fear.

This is routine massacre of black people is only happening in certain cities. Black men aren’t terrorizing the black community in Boston the way they are in places like Chicago or Philly.

Not all black people in this country are the same. Some of us are different. I told y’all it’s a lot of safer for black people to live in New England, but y’a keep sleeping.

I NEVER feel like I need a strap up here. You just have to experience New England to understand what I mean.

If you’re young and planning to start a family, you should give serious consideration to moving up here. It doesn’t even have to be Boston, or even Massachusetts. The surrounding states that make up the rest of New England are just as comparatively safe for black people.

I respect what you’re trying to say Op but I can’t be going to a place where the average black net worth is lower than a Harlem chopped cheese sandwich

That was no typo: The median net worth of black Bostonians really is $8 - The Boston Globe

The median net worth for non-immigrant African-American households in the Greater Boston region is $8, according to “The Color of Wealth in Boston.”

What a dumb thread

How so? I’m drawing a comparison between the daily carnage occurring in other regions of this country to the relative peace I observe of Boston’s black community.

Most of the time if you can't make it in one part of the country, you won't make it in another.

 

[EBK String]

Tell black men to move to racist ass Boston as a solution brehs.

No matter where you move, you bring yourself along

 

[KidJSoul]

Never understood why boston gets singled out for being racist for black people when other places are worse

What do you mean exactly

The culture in Massachusetts, which is decidedly more progressive than you’ll find just about anywhere else in this country, has nurtured the black community to think and act differently. We’re more educated, more conscious, more communal. There is a greater appreciation of our past, our historic triumphs and defeats, which has conditioned us to view one another with a stronger identification of our shared struggle. Black people up here have a lot of respect for each other.

Our safety nets are stronger, as well, which has made our families healthier. With this comes children who are going to school with a greater capacity to learn and retain the information they’re taught. Thanks to the constellation of world renowned academic institutions that dot New England, the education system in the states are among the best in the country.

My argument is that New England produces smarter and healthier black children.
